A recent report conducted by NERC (North American Electric Reliability Conference) highlights the increased risk of power outages this summer – with demand sharply increasing (more data centers, more AC needed with rising temps, etc.) and no improvement to current grid infrastructure in sight. In fact, the U.S. is projected to need an additional 10 […]

Understanding Thermal Challenges in Stationary Battery Systems Stationary lead-acid batteries are designed to operate under certain environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity and cleanliness. Operating outside these constraints has many effects on batteries. Most battery warranties are based upon operating conditions This webinar will define the desired conditions and what happens to the battery during […]
Heat is detrimental to Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA) battery operation and life. And, like all stationary batteries, they should be operated in an environment that allows for natural air movement and ventilation around the battery. It is important to maintain the battery at approximately 77ºF (25ºC). If this is not possible, and the battery is operated […]
The Battery Blarney Duo are joined by industry experts Al Warner and Dan Lambert to discuss lead acid, lithium, nickel cadmium and other prominent battery chemistries and their proper applications. They discuss the pros and cons of these popular chemistries as well as the prospect of other interesting options, like that of zinc manganese. The […]
